In group situations, he is the first to try and take charge, but if someone else steps forward he will let them lead instead.


 * He does not understand jokes or sarcasm. This often gets him into trouble because the thinks people are being serious. When he tries to make jokes they are often puns or super cheesy ani-jokes.

Bo is asexual panromantic meaning he doesn't want to get into anyone's pants but also thinks that everyone is cute and worth dating. Bo is an ESTJ in terms of The Myers & Briggs personality test.


 * History
 * Off the coast of Shanghai, a small fleet of fishing boats set out to do some fishing. They were trying to catch sharks for their fins so they could sell them for a large profit. This made Kymopoleia upset because those creatures were precious to her. She didn't want to see them killed needlessly. Seeing the sharks thrown back into the water after having their fins ripped off made Kymopoleia angry.


 * She climbed to the surface as the waves grew choppy and rough, tossing the fleet side to side. In her mortal form, she grew to be 20 feet tall, standing on the waves. Above her, a raging storm grew, the clouds dark. With a loud clap of thunder, the clouds released a torrent of rain, drenching the sailors. As Kymopoleia reached out her hand waves overtook about half of the boats, 3 in all. The boats sank and the last of the survivors quickly kneeled, not understanding who she was, but also not wanting to die. Seeing the sailors kneeling made Kymopoleia happy as she loved being feared for her powers.


 * "Your treatment of the creatures of the sea displeases me. What shall you say for yourselves?"


 * The sailors pleaded and begged for her to spare them. They promise to atone for their cruel treatment of animals and do something to help the earth instead. Kymopoleia, unsatisfied drags all but one of the sailors to their deaths. Hui is the only one left standing. Kymopoleia walks towards the boat and transforms into a beautiful mortal with thick black hair and piercing blue eyes. She seduces Hui on the boat and leaves once she is done with him, after telling him that if he didn't fulfill his promise about atoning for what he had done, he would follow the same fate as his fellow sailors. She left him stranded in the ocean. He manages to make his way back to shore with the help of a coast guard. Keeping true to his word, Hui quits being a part of the mafia he was a part of and instead buys a rice farm and becomes a farmer.


 * One day, roughly nine months after meeting Kymopoleia he walks along the beach after doing some shopping. Hui sees a basket on the beach. Curious he peeks inside and sees a baby, all alone with no note. Looking around he doesn't see anyone else so he decides that he would be the one to raise the child. What he didn't realize was that the child was his own child. A product of the night he met Kymopoleia. After buying some child necessities, Hui takes the child home.


 * Hui named the child Bo, meaning waves because that's where he found him. For the first two years of Bo's life, things were uneventful. Hui was a wonderful parent. He treated Bo as if Bo was his own child because that's what Bo deserved. Bo learned to walk and once he was old enough he accompanied Hui out into the fields on Hui's back.


 * At the age of two and four months old, Hui decided that he had had enough of rice farming. It was a needed profession but he decided that it wasn't for him. So he sold the farm and packed all of his things. He had decided a few months ago where he wanted to move to. Hui had an associate's degree so he wanted to get a job at any place that would take him and go to classes at night to get a bachelor's in business management so he could open his own business deep sea fishing. Hui figured that teaching others about fishing and about sea life would be the best way to fulfill his promise to the goddess.


 * Hui moved Bo and himself to Astoria, Oregon. For the next three Hui took as many shifts as he could to support himself and Bo while also taking classes at a nearby community college. Hui made sure to hire a babysitter to watch Bo. When major storms rolled in, the babysitters often complained that Bo wouldn't sleep and that despite everything they tried he would only fall asleep if he was able to look out at the storm.


 * When Bo turned five, he started elementary school and Hui had finally saved up enough money to buy a small fishing business. When Bo wasn't in school, he often accompanied Hui out on trips. Hui started to notice that when Bo was happy, the weather was mostly clear, but when Bo got upset about something the ocean turned very choppy soon after and storms seemed to follow. This wasn't really an issue for Hui, but he didn't know what to do or how to deal with it so he pushed it to the back of his mind for now.


 * As Bo grew up he became more and more interested in the sea. He spent all of his time on the beach or helping his dad with the business. This made his effort at school decrease. When Bo's teachers brought it up to Hui in second grade, he took Bo to see a psychologist, to see if Bo was okay. They learned that Bo was Dyslexic and ADHD and had early signs of OCD. With this new information, Hui worked with Bo's teachers to create a better learning environment for Bo. Within a couple of months, Bo was back on track for all of his school work.


 * For the next seven years Bo lived a relatively normal life with Hui. Weird storm things still happened around Bo, and Bo was still attracted to them, but things were uneventful. Around the end of ninth grade, Bo went out with his father by themselves so they could have some fishing time together. About three hours into their seven-hour planned trip, they started to notice a large shape under the water. Hui thought it was a whale coming up for air, but Bo sensed it was something different. Not knowing what it was, Hui and Bo reeled in their lines when suddenly Bo felt a huge bite on his line. It was nearly enough to pull Bo overboard, but he was able to hang on. He braced himself against the side of the boat and started to slowly reel in what was on the other end of the line. Hui noticed the boat tipping to the starboard side as Bo was trying to reel in his giant fish.


 * Hui ran to the helm of the boat and attempted to correct the tipping anyway possible. While Hui was occupied with the boat, Bo put everything he had into reeling in the fish. He was really surprised that his line or his rod hadn't snapped, but was quickly distracted by the fish again. As the creature got closer to the surface Bo noticed that what he thought was a fish, was really long and looked nothing like the fish he had seen before. In his momentary lapse of concentration, the "fish" gave a giant tug on the line that caused Bo to be pulled overboard. The cold water shocked Bo to his core, and from somewhere he heard his name being called, but he tuned it out. For those few seconds, things were so peaceful. Then he realized that something was wrapping itself around his body and dragging him down.


 * When he looked down he saw a large snake-like body wrapping itself around his torso and legs. Bo panicked and struggled to release himself, but the creature held onto him even tighter. Bo's lungs started to hurt from holding his breath for so long and he grew lightheaded. From the shadows below he saw a shape in the waters coming up fast. The blurred object
